addressed but it seems to be bothering him. if you decide making rules for s rear -- sro to be smoke free the state will subsidized. sometimes you hear the state won't let them have smoke free buildings and that's what i was told by tenderloin housing authority compliance officer to justify it that have the right to smoke and they have people who are smokers and the supervisor said "if you make a rule that the sro is going to be smoke free building from now on, make a rule like that just as they did successfully without any complaints, and i was there at next door shelter, the biggest shelter when supervisor

mar's ordinance came into effect. i was listening. no complaints. that big huge thing and people had a right to say what they did they located outside and make a big smoky place on the street instead. now, i think this should not be tolerated either. supervisor mar we asked about a week ago the problem is if you made that role then people and would get eviction notice for smoking then they're on the street. well, i haven't heard that angle before but i can see how that is resolved by a little mathematics and employer -- what the present residents want. i met people in the sro's that are subjected to

the atmosphere but non spokers and they don't have a choice. here's the room. let's see how many people are there that want non smoking room. a third of the people are non smokers there and a third people don't want the smoke and a 30 in the another sro are the same way and make one a smoke free one. it's not high powered mathematics but make inquiries. people might be interested in having a choice and smokers could occupy a certain part of the building and non smokers could have a clean building. let's work it out. >> thank you so much ma'am. >> thank you. >> thank you. okay. no more for public comment. public comment is closed. we're going to move on down to agenda item

fighting forms of oppression so we work through individual support and collective action that we think it's important to build a movement with seniors and people can disabilities to build the kind of community we want and our vision is about them fully participating in our community to have housing, health care, transportation, and other needs met, and where we have justice for all where everyone is treated with dignity and respect where voices are heard and valued, where we recognize and honor gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, religion, class, and every part of ones self that people bring to our organization and community so we have several programs that i will mention briefly, and i forgot we actually have a powerpoint so maybe i will turn to that for a
